5 Tips to a Winning Offer

 The market is crazy right now. Submitting a beautifully crafted offer is essential to winning the home buying battle. We are here to help you succeed and get you into your dream home! 

Here are 5 Tips to help your offer stand out from the crowd:

Tip 1: Work with the listing agent, not against them. 

You want to show the listing agent how truly interested you are in their client’s home. Be friendly and willing to work with them during this process. Treat every conversation like an interview– remember the agent with the winning offer will be working closely with the listing agent for the next 30-60 days until closing.

Tip 2: Offer a short closing timeline.

People want to sell their homes quickly and easily, offer them a short closing timeline to hurry along this process for the sellers.

Tip 3: Waive inspections and due diligence period.

This shows the sellers just how interested you are in their home. It proves that you trust them and are willing to take on some risk to buy their home.

Tip 4: Offer a high due diligence.

This money is also a great way to prove to the sellers how serious you are about buying their home and just how much you are willing to put on the line. Due diligence money is an important factor that just might put your offer in the lead especially if there are multiple offers all at a similar price. 

Tip 5: Choose your lender wisely.

Work with a trusted lender who you know will answer your calls day or night. It is important to remember that when working with a bank, you can only contact them during banking hours which are often limited and closed on weekends.
